STRESSES AND STRAINS IN LAYERED SYSTEMS CHEV4

CHEV4 calculates stresses, strains and displacements at selected points within the pavement structure, which is assumed to consist of a number of uniform horizontal layers, resting on a semi-infinite medium. The layers are completely defined by their Young moduli, Poisson ratios and thicknesses. The load on the surface is vertical and uniformly applied over a circular area. /Author/
